CRICKET SPLASHES (By 'French Cut'). Pyree's strategy in winning the toss and putting Numbaa in on Saturday last may have been alright if they could take catches. Toby Bice was missed first ball, and 3 times before he reached 20, which will probably be too big a handicap. . L. Stubbs, who is in the combined team for .Country Week, took part in. Country Week last year, coming down witn a wortn uoast team. Noel Martin, another Albion Park player, came to that district as a good footballer, and incidentally represent ed the South Coast. His record this year as a cricketer has been outstand ing at Albion Park. If all the players for Country Week are as keen and as proud of their selection as the manager (Mr. Cyril Dent), the side will give a good ac count of themselves. All Saints have returned to the win ning way, and are in an excellent position regarding wet weather next Saturday. Pyree colts Bruce Leaney and Basil Bryce, as openers, put up an excellent performance on Saturday against...

NOTES (By 'Niblick'). Those portions of the fairways that have been mown are showing nice and green, and from a player's point of view, are greatly improved. As stated in these notes last week, it is the in tention of the committee to go over the whole of the playing area with the horse-drawn machine, and to follow jt up at a later date with the rotary mower. nrmsiriwjit.inn is beine eiven to the question of cultivating the first and , second fairways this season. The idea is quite good, and the result would be that the new season would be opened with the whole of the course culti vated and sown with fine couch grass. The only drawback would be that the course would be closed for a couple of months, over the holiday season, and ten players would have to travel to Port Kembla for the White Horse Cup matches on Sunday week. No deci , sion has definitely been made, and the ?writer is assured that the President, Mr. Morris, would be pleased to have expressions of opinion on the pro pose...

Consideration and adoption of the estimates for 1938 will be the first and most momentous task that will face the newly-elected Councils after the fateful 4th of December. Upon the outlook of the aldermen as regards these estimates will largely depend the success or failure of the Councils' operations during the coming year. For many years it was the practice of the Nowra aldermen to pursue a cheese-paring policy with regard to expenditure, cutting down the esti mated expenditure to the lowest pos sible penny, in the belief that such a procedure was sound finance. Possibly that course had the effect of allowing the rates to be reduced to a minimum, but it also spelt stagnation for the municipality. That was in the days of the restricted franchise. The adop tion of universal suffrage was respon sible for a new era in local govern ment. The old order was changed, but the ruination that was so freely forecasted did not eventuate. In stead, aldermen elected under the ex tended franchise...

He moved— 'That the Clerk be instructed to write to the Board of Health, asking that steps be taken to carry out the scheme within the municipality.' The Mayor said the question of im munisation had been before the Council some time ago, but the people had not, shown much interest. Ald. Holzhauser seconded the mo tion, remarking that the move was a wise one, which should have been in troduced twelve months ago. The motion was supported by Ald. Couzens and Kellett, who said that, before the days of anti-toxin, he re membered a whole family being wiped out by diphtheria.
